My youngest son was born in 2014. He lives in the countryside of my hometown and has been living in the city. Or give your son a name based on his seniority. I am a native of Heze, Shandong, and I still have a very deep concept of my ancestors. Every time I go back to my hometown, I go to visit the tombs of my ancestors, not for anything else but to feel at ease. My ancestors, my grandparents, my uncles, and members of my clan sleep in the mausoleum. I was born in 1985, and I don’t know why I feel so strongly about my hometown.
My son’s name is Jijia, which is homophonic to Jia. I want him to remember his home no matter where he goes when he becomes an adult. Basically, all the families in the village have the surname Wang. Loyalty is passed down from generation to generation, and poems and books are passed down from generation to generation. I am a scholar, but my ID card is not from this generation. My name with seniority is only on the stone tablet of my clan. Yes, I used it when I got married. I really hope that seniority will be passed on. Today’s world and society really lack a strong concept of seniority!
Our family will continue to revise the genealogy this year, and the clan members have agreed: ①, the characters for generation will be according to "Zai Zheng Tong Guang Chang Sheng Xiu", and the seven characters will be rotated to the eight characters. For those with a single name, some generational order will be automatically added when the name is written on the genealogy and the stele, and there must be no objection. ② Genealogy is rebuilt every 30 years; family gatherings/grand relatives (grave sweeping during the Qingming Festival) are held every 5 years; ③ Family genealogy (additional records of the progress/death of clan members and various information data in the past five years).

Even if you go to a far away place, as long as you have the same surname, you can ask what generation you are from. If you meet people of similar seniority, you will feel more cordial! Dear relatives. Usually, families with this kind of surname have an older and prestigious person who calls on a representative from each family to hold a meeting to discuss the renewal of the family tree of this surname. After approval, it is printed into a book, and the family members abide by it. Even if they are far away from home, they will know about the continuation of their family tree through various communication methods. This is also the great cultural inheritance of the Chinese nation!
